Our Cannabis Cultivation Legal Services
Under US law, hemp must contain no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis.
Testing methods, post-harvest handling and extraction processes can all affect whether a crop or product meets this definition – and is therefore classed as legal.
At Kight Law, we advise businesses on key cultivation legal considerations, including:
- THC thresholds and testing: Advising on how federal and state testing requirements affect whether crops meet legal definitions
- Product classification: Assessing how cultivation and processing impact whether products are considered hemp or cannabis under US law
- Harvest and processing considerations: Evaluating how post-harvest handling and extraction may affect THC concentration and compliance status
- Hemp-derived products: Supporting businesses working with cannabinoids and other hemp-derived materials
Our cannabis cultivation work often intersects with regulatory compliance, contracts, and intellectual property.
